Our wool blend felt is manufactured by National Nonwovens. It is ideal for penny rugs, pillows, faux foods and flowers, ornaments, stockings, costumes, puppets, and so much more.

We stock two blends of wool felt, which can be used interchangeably in your projects. You wont notice a significant visual difference between the two blends. Both are approximately 2 mm thick, or approximately 1/16th of an inch thick.

The felts can be used as-is straight off the bolt for a flat look. To create a bubbled texture, the felts can be pre-washed. See our "Tips" page for other helpful hints and suggestions.

Wool blend felt can shrink 3"-5" per yard when washed, so be sure to allow adequate yardage for shrinkage. Please be aware that colors can bleed.

Wool Blend Felt VS Felted Wool? What is the difference?

The
product featured on our site is WOOL BLEND FELT, manufactured by
National Nonwovens. It is a felt fabric made from wool and rayon.
Felt is a type of fabric that is made by bonding fibers together.
It is not a woven fabric. Because it is a blend of wool and rayon,
when soaked in hot water, then tossed in the dryer, the fibers will
shrink up and cause the fabric to be bubbly and soft. You can
expect shrinkage of 3-5 in length and 2  4 in width per yard.
Think of Wool Blend Felt as more similar to a craft type felt, but with a
much nicer feel, flexibility, and variety of colors. Wool
Blend Felt will
NOT pill, shed, or stretch out of shape like acrylic or
polyester craft felts tend to do.
The wool blend felt is approximately 1/16th - 1/8th of an inch thick, or 2 mm thick.

FELTED WOOL,
on the other hand, typically refers to a woven fabric that has been
soaked in hot water, agitated, then exposed to heat for drying. This
process compacts the weave of the fabric and creates a very dense
product. Think of felted wool as being similar to a wool hat or heavy
wool coat.

If your project requires multiple 12" x 18" pieces of the same
color, we recommend purchasing the felt in yardage instead.

For example:

Two 12 " x 18" pieces = 1/3 yard (12" x 36") = .34

Three 12 x 18 pieces = ½ yard (18 x 36) = .5

Four 12" x 18" pieces = 2/3 yard (24" x 36") = .67

Five 12 x 18 pieces = 7/8 yard (approximately 30 x 36 ) =
.875

Six 12" x 18" pieces = 1 yard (36" x 36") = 1

This will give you one large piece to work with instead of
several small pieces, and is also just a bit more cost
effective.

If you have ordered multiple 12 x 18 cuts of one color on your
order, we may ship those cuts as the equivalent yardage amount
listed above, unless you specify differently in the Special
Instructions box at check-out.
